The 666

A tall Afro-American Customer
probably around 40 years old
with strong appearance
Came to my shop for keys.

When I was doing his bill,
I laugh and said is funny 
You owe my $6.66.
“666”

With a little terror, he exclaimed
oh no, I don't like that number!
don't you know, it is the devil's mark!
I told him but only if I give it that energy.

I rather take no chances, he said.
Please, add this keychain.
